GFS2: Ensure that the inode goal block settings are updated
GFS2 has a goal block associated with each inode indicating the
search start position for future block allocations (in fact there
are two, but thats for backward compatibility with GFS1 as they

In some circumstances, depending on the ordering of updates to
the inode it was possible for the goal block settings to not
be updated on disk. This patch ensures that the goal block will
always get updated, thus reducing the potential for searching
the same (already allocated) blocks again when looking for free

eCryptfs: Larger buffer for encrypted symlink targets
When using filename encryption with eCryptfs, the value of the symlink
in the lower filesystem is encrypted and stored as a Tag 70 packet.
This results in a longer symlink target than if the target value wasn't
encrypted.
Users were reporting these messages in their syslog:
[ 45.653441] ecryptfs_parse_tag_70_packet: max_packet_size is [56]; real
packet size is [51]
[ 45.653444] ecryptfs_decode_and_decrypt_filename: Could not parse tag
70 packet from filename; copying through filename as-is
This was due to bufsiz, one the arguments in readlink(), being used to
when allocating the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink().
That symlink target may be very large, but when decoded and decrypted,
could end up being smaller than bufsize.
To fix this, the buffer passed to the lower inode's readlink() will
always be PATH_MAX in size when filename encryption is enabled. Any
necessary truncation occurs after the decoding and decrypting.

The difference might be caused by the ratio between memory and IDE

bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was
allocated anyway.
* Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in

FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()
In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.

powerpc/85xx: Added SMP defconfig
Since the vast majority of 85xx platforms are UP we introduce a new SMP
config for the few platforms that have more than one core. Beyond
CONFIG_SMP=y and its dependencies this should be identical to
mpc85xx_defconfig.

A few issues wrt DMA were uncovered when using the driver with swiotlb.
- driver should not use memory after it has been mapped
- iwl3945's RX queue management cannot use all of iwlagn because
the size of the RX buffer is different. Revert back to using
iwl3945 specific routines that map/unmap memory.
- no need to "dma_syn_single_range_for_cpu" followed by pci_unmap_single,
we can just call pci_unmap_single initially
- only map the memory area that will be used by device. this is especially
relevant to the mapping of iwl_cmd. we should not map the entire
structure because the meta data at the beginning of structure contains
the address to be used later for unmapping. If the address to be used for
unmapping is stored in mapped data it creates a problem.
- ensure that _if_ memory needs to be modified after it is mapped that we
call _sync_single_for_cpu first, and then release it back to device with
_sync_single_for_device
- we mapped the wrong length of data for host commands, with mapped length
differing with length provided to device, fix that.

When debugging TX issues it is helpful to know the seq nr of the
frame being transmitted. The seq nr is printed as part of ucode's
log informing us which frame is being processed. Having this information
printed in driver log makes it easy to match activities between driver
and firmware.
Also make possible to print TX flags directly. These are already printed
as part of entire TX command, but having it printed directly in cpu format
makes it easier to look at.

This patch fixes a build warning in mwl8.c.
(Marvell TOPDOG wireless driver)
The warning it fixes is: "large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type."
The rx_ctrl member of the mwl8k_rx_desc struct is 8 bit (__u8 ), whereas trying
to assign it a 32 bit value (which is returned from cpu_to_le32())
causes the compiler to issue
a truncation warning.

mac80211: fix alignment calculation bug

It is expected that config interface will always succeed as mac80211
will only request what driver supports. The exception here is when a
device has rfkill enabled. At this time the rfkill state is unknown to
mac80211 and config interface can fail. When this happens we deal with
this error instead of printing a WARN.

iwlwifi: fix EEPROM validation mask to include OTP only devices
Fix the bug where some revisions of 6000 series hardware cannot
be used. Later versions of 6000 series have the EEPROM replaced by
OTP. For these devices to be used we need to expand valid EEPROM mask.
